Acivir Cream 10gm is a topical antiviral cream or ointment formulated for the treatment of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections affecting the skin and lips. This includes cold sores (herpes labialis) and genital herpes lesions. Each gram of this product contains 50 mg of acyclovir, an antiviral agent that works by inhibiting viral DNA replication, thereby controlling the spread of the virus and reducing the severity and duration of symptoms.

Acivir Cream 10gm is applied directly to the affected skin at the first sign of a herpes outbreak, such as tingling, redness, or itching. It helps to prevent the formation of painful sores, speeds up healing, and reduces the risk of transmission. This formulation is widely recommended for early-stage treatment of recurring cold sores and genital herpes episodes.

This product is available as an over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription medication, depending on regional regulations, and is safe for short-term external use in both adults and children, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.
